Jeweled Fake Nails

I love these!!! There's a whole culture of jeweled nail art going on in Asia (specifically Japan) and the trend keeps becoming stranger and visually bolder (latest I've seen is tufts of feather glued directly onto your acrylic tips). I think in general the concept of nail art is very expressive and highly creative. :D I LOVE IT!

First, I'm showing you the most amazing nail art I've ever seen and then the polishes that are needed to make them.
All by CDN - their line of cremes, primaries and chromes mixed with their 'effects' polishes (shimmer, pearls and sparkle) give you endless possibilities.
The also have introduced SHELLAC, a polish that lasts weeks without chipping.

The base color is a shimmer of the softest neutral gray with pink and blue flashes. Floral details are laid over splashes of glossy jet black. This set is one of a kind and will look fabulous on. Asian and exotic, yet very wearable and delicate.
These shorter "active length" nail tips are made in Japan of thin, high-quality plastic and painted with a one-of-a-kind polish mixed from pigments and glitters. They are resistant to ordinary chipping and will look great after extended wear if you keep them away from acetone and nail polish remover. There are 11 sizes for a total of 22 nails.
Nail width in Centimeters: 1.5, 1.4, 1.3, 1.2, 1.1, 1, .9, .8, .7, .6(Inches= .59, .55, .51, .47, .43, .39, .35, .31, .27, .23)
All have a protective topcoat and are high gloss. Only top-quality cruelty-free polish and pigment are used.
Please note that these tips are tend to run small and are most suitable for small/medium size hands. I can make larger sizes as a special order- please contact me for details.
These full-cover press on nails will not chip and can be applied with nail tabs or traditional nail glue. If the nails are applied with double sided nail tabs, the nails can be used again. If acrylic nail glue is used (cyanoacrylate glue), the nails may be worn for up to a week.
Glue is not included. To apply, just press over nail bed after glue/tape has been applied, press firmly, and twist. The nail will release easily. File off any jagged edge with a file. Make sure to choose a nail which is the right size- applying a nail that is too small may cause the artificial nail to crack. If in doubt, use the next size up. Clear topcoat may be applied if desired.
Nails will ship from Tokyo, Japan after confirmation of PayPal payment. 10% of the profits from all sales will go to homeless animal rescue and spay/neuter programs.

hese are perfect for the pig lover! Adorable pigs cavorting around on a mud brown base with splashes of mud here and there for accents. I mixed the base color from brown pig-ment. (OK, sorry- just couldn't resist that one.) Check out the teeny snout on the smallest nail. Squee! High gloss finish.

Getting an acrylic set professional applied can be rather costly and it also takes FOREVER so I was pretty excited to try these lovelies out on a whim. Just under $7 these look amazing and are a snap to apply YOUR VERY OWN SELF! As an artist and adventurous glamour girl I am also more prone to injury and issue. So instead of ripping a professionally applied acrylic nail off along with my own nail I've found these things just sort of pop off if I get a little too rough with my "handy" activities :) That's a lot more comfortable and less a liability.
Did I mention they are cheap too? And gorgeous! Who could ask for anything more?

It's cheap to do your own nails, but you will get that professionally done look. The upsides of purchasing your own crystals are:
1. Not very many nail salons carry Swarovski Nail Crystals
2. If they do carry crystals...they charge you a dollar a crystal..when they really cost around $5 for 50 crystals.
3. Your nails will look unique and glamorous because you are blinging out!
I recommend for your first purchase to buy silver/clear crystals...so that you can use them with any color nail polish, then expand into colors that you like. I absolutely love how with a little bit of nail glue and Swarovski crystals makes it look like i get pedicures every week!
